Just got texted a job offer. You guys think it's legit? - Lemmy.World

It sounds kind of sketchy, but would someone like [email protected] [[email protected]] really be dishonest?

Totally legit. Source: trust me, bro.
For sure. OP should give them their SSN and bank account and get started.
Love job offers that begin with, “I apologize”

[…] would someone like [email protected] really be dishonest?

Iphone users can never be evil, I have learned that from watching films.

Yup, it’s a little known secret of our economy that roughly 15% of the populace makes over $10,000 a month evaluating restaurants, aka, eating at them and filing reports.

Those reports are essential for us all, and I for one have been perpetually grateful for the knowledge I have gleaned from them.

But why no 21-year-old restaurant evaluators?
I reached out to The Guild of Restaurant Evaluators to ask, and they told me it was a trade secret. But then when I asked the Restaurant Evaluators Guild, they told me it’s for “legal” reasons. But they put “legal” in quotes. The Evaluators Agency told me it was because nobody trusts 21 year olds, but let’s face it, of the “big 3”, nobody trusts The Evaluators Agency compared to the other two.
This reads like a Terry Pratchett quote
Are you crazy?? You can’t trust a 21 year old to have a refined enough palette to be a restaurant evaluator!
(They’re being sarcastic)
Sweeeeeeeeeet Jaye-sus I need to let Karen Karoline Kalmers know the EH EYES are commming for the HUN jobs.
Sweet Jesus, is MLM not even safe? Bots mean to replace the HUN jobs? Deary Deary Deary....
MLM? This is likely human trafficking. MLMs will gladly take your money, but the face to face interactions are at seminars well after you're hooked on the scam. Traffickers will entice you into "training" at one of their facilities right away.
Well, thats much worse.
You know it’s legit when they ask you to move the conversation over to WhatsApp.
I’m just surprised it wasn’t Microsoft Teams. I’ve had fake job offers sent to me telling me to contact them over Teams before, but I always sent my resume to them first, thinking they were legitimate. This one was totally unsolicited.
Why is there a range on payment for training? You’d think that’d be standardized.
It’s based on your training GPA.
At the end of training they will have you pay them for training you.
Ah, the old Soviet Russia con

WhatsApp has a zero day code execution exploit and that is probably the reason for using WhatsApp, I got a similarly odd text a couple days ago

Alert! Zero-day Exploit For WhatsApp Advertised On Hacker Forums

A zero-day exploit targeting the popular messaging app WhatsApp has been advertised on underground hacker forums.

That does make sense. I don’t use WhatsApp, so I know nothing about it.
I get spam, I reply with goatse

That user does not appear to be reliable. They were also advertising a zero click iPhone exploit and got banned.

I would still personally play it safe
I had a Gaia Online account with the name “Monkey Man” 20ish years ago (jesus where has the time gone) can confirm def legit
So is that what I call you when I contact you on WhatsApp? Or do I call you Zidane?
You can call me whatever you like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
… Did it have two ns, and were you also on the Nintendo forums?
Gaia Online… now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time
I was sceptical, but the exclamation mark convinced me.
Imagine using whatsapp
normal day stuff? perfectly fine. just not for business stuff like this I’d say.
Not great, still better than SMS.

It’s legit…

Legitimately a scam.

Kind of a fun one though. Has all the typical flags, though hides them well enough I’d bet they get above average hits. Even the haste part is hiding behind a static number of 50 positions.

I’ve definitely seen worse.

Your going to have to do butt stuff with a broken calculator…
Does the broken calculator at least like butt stuff?
The broken calculator is experimenting, that’s why it made this very specific request.
People forgetting to put the /s in here gonna convince some special needs kids to leak their SSN and get ransomware on their phones.
The scam is called pig butchering.
It is a scam but not sure this falls into pig butchering. Pig butchering is more of a romance scam.
Ah. It seems to fit this sort of scam. Didn’t realize the tiddies were a necessary component.

I get texts for real (but still shitty) job offers. I think texting someone’s cellphone for an unprompted job offer should be fucking illegal. I had some fucking clown recruiter call me 5 times, email me 3 times. Leave 2 voicemails, and send me 5 texts. These people should be in jail.
Damn. I guess I’m glad I’m not in demand.
I get lots of “Hey! We talked last week about your house! Still interested in selling? What’s your cash price?” My reply is an upscaled goatse.
This is the only appropriate response.
